I'd forgotten about that! The coil is the original. I might be wise to
shotgun it out, whether or not I find something else wrong. I should even
have time to get an OEM part before she leaves. At least that is something I
don't have to worry about disturbing unnecessarily - I hate doing invasive
work so soon before a big trip. Thanks, Elle!
